Our quarrel is not with Egypt, still less with the Arab world. It is with Colonel Nasser. He has shown that he is not a man who can be trusted to keep an agreement. Now he has torn up all his country's promises to the Suez Canal Company and has even gone back on his own statements.

Slowly and painfully man is learning that he must do unto others what he would have them do to him.

We are not at war with Egypt. We are in an armed conflict.
